Origin

This song is a fast-paced arrangement of the title theme for Banjo-Kazooie. The song repeats three times; the first loop is faithful to the original arrangement, the second adds a half-tempo techno beat, and the third removes said beat, adds orchestral instruments and an electric guitar, and raises the key from C major to E♭ major. When returning to the first loop, the electric guitar is kept during its initial verse.

Origin

This song is an arrangement of the theme for Spiral Mountain, the introductory area of Banjo-Kazooie. Arranged by the original composer, Grant Kirkhope, the remix references the themes for other areas in both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, including Treasure Trove Cove, Freezeezy Peak, Gruntilda's Lair, Rusty Bucket Bay, and Mayahem Temple. It begins as a faster-paced, bluegrass-style remix of the original theme with a fiddle, piccolo, banjo, and tuba as the main instruments. When the first loop is complete, however, it becomes a triumphant orchestral arrangement, and returns to the beginning after an original refrain.

Trivia

• Banjo-Kazooie is the first franchise where a non-Japanese musician arranged a theme. Coincidentally, it was immediately followed by Undertale in the same time frame.
  • Series composer Grant Kirkhope was first hinted about the prospect of Banjo and Kazooie in Super Smash Bros. when Davide Soliani, creative director of the Switch-exclusive Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (which Kirkhope also composed for), emailed him asking for his contact information on behalf of Nintendo. Kirkhope was initially skeptical, but accepted the offer anyway; upon learning that he was being asked to arrange music for Banjo and Kazooie's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he was incredibly excited to return to the characters.
